––This paper deals with the Queueing theory and the analysis of the efficiency of the queueing system of a bank in different locations. Starting with the historical back ground and important concepts of the queueing theory, we measured the effectiveness of banks in rural and town areas by using probability curves of arrivals and waiting times.

Regular health care during pregnancy, birthing and the postnatal period is recommended for improving maternal and neonatal outcomes and accessing such care has become a common expectation for Australian families. Studies have highlighted the relative safety of birthing in rural hospitals even though these units are typically associated with low volumes of deliveries. Yet, in Queensland, the loc...

Microfilaria infection is one of the major health problem in developing countries like India, especially in rural areas. In most of the cases microfilaria was an incidental finding in FNAC smears prepared from swellings from various locations in the body and also from fluid aspirate. Peripheral blood smear examination is usually done for the diagnosis. Here, we presented a series of eight cases...

BACKGROUND Each year an estimated 390 million dengue infections occur worldwide. In Malaysia, dengue is a growing public health concern but estimate of its disease burden remains uncertain. We compared the urban-rural difference of dengue seroprevalence and determined age-specific dengue seroprevalence in Malaysia. METHODS We undertook analysis on 11,821 subjects from six seroprevalence surve...

Physicians who work in challenging contexts such as remote rural locations or with special populations may need support in persevering in their positions and also may suffer vicarious trauma through their work. Academic health centers may be in a position to provide much needed support to these physicians through focused continuing medical education, faculty development, practice-based research...

We have adapted an expert system of medical diagnosis for use by low to mid-level health workers in remote and rural locations. Key to the successful deployment of this expert system is the rapid adaptation of the database and clinical interface for use in specific regions and by varying user

be used in most geographical locations of interest. In mountainous regions with very long echo delays, some gain would still be achieved by setting z to T/2 without significantly degrading the receiver equalisation capability. The technique has also been validated through testing with more complex Rayleigh fading channel models specified by GSM’ which are typical of particular geographical loca...

PURPOSE The University of Missouri School of Medicine developed the Rural Track Pipeline Program (MU-RTPP) to increase the supply and retention of rural physicians statewide. The MU-RTPP features a preadmissions program for rural students (Rural Scholars), a Summer Community Program for rising second-year students, a six-month Rural Track Clerkship (RTC) Program for third-year students, and a R...

In Panama, species of the genus Lutzomyia are vectors of American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL). There is no recent ecological information that may be used to develop tools for the control of this disease. Thus, the goal of this study was to determine the composition, distribution and diversity of Lutzomyia species that serve as vectors of ACL. Sandfly sampling was conducted in forests, fragmen...

BACKGROUND Doctors' scarcity in rural areas remains a serious problem in Latin America and Peru. Few studies have explored job preferences of doctors working in underserved areas. We aimed to investigate doctors' stated preferences for rural jobs. METHODS AND FINDINGS A labelled discrete choice experiment (DCE) was performed in Ayacucho, an underserved department of Peru. Preferences were ass...
